Law enforcement sources tell us Stephen's wiferan into an LAPD station Tuesday, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car -- something that was not like him at all.
We're told, a short time later police got a call for a shooting at an L.A. hotel ... and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Stephen started DJing on Ellen's show in 2014, and was with her until the show ended in May 2022. He had become an executive producer on the show in 2020.
He really got his break in showbiz in 2008, when he was runner-up on"So You Think Can Dance." He went on to do some acting, landing several roles where he could show off his dance skills. Stephen played Jason in the 'Step Up' movie franchise, and he was also in"Magic Mike XXL."The last time our photogs got him out was back in September, and he talked to us about life after"Ellen" ... sounding pretty happy to have more time with his family.
Stephen hosted several reality shows ... most notably, he and Allison hosted"Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings" together on Disney+.They had 3 kids. Stephen was 40 years old.If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat

So sad
Never watched Ellen but I watched him compete in the dance show. He was my favourite. Kind, talented and always smiling. Terrible tragedy. RIP.
I noticed Twitch followed FTX and Samual Bankman-Fried. Did he lose everything in this scam? SBF arrested same day as suicide….
This is really unfortunate.. this is a perfect example of looks can be deceiving no matter what position a person is in life they could be struggling to keep going..prayers to his family I hope they are able to heal from this🥺💔
💙😢🙏
So incredibly sad!
It’s so sad 😭 I send my condolences to his beautiful family
WOW!!!
Rip 🕊️
I'm over here battling an incurable disease, despair, depression, but can't imagine doing this to my family right now. Grab on to the tiniest piece of hope u can find & make it grow. 😪🙏🙏
Ellen pushed him to it
Incredibly sad. Heartbreaking for all.
So sad 😞 RIP ❤️
This is heartbreaking! RIP Twitch, you will be missed!
Sad that he was sad. He had something going on that was hard to deal with. Be confident to ask those that you know love you for help when you are at your lowest. That’s why we are here.
Sad. ♥️🐺
😇🙏🏼😇
So sad
So sad! Condolences to his family and friends
Wow
Why no one comes forward and acknowledge that seeds of pessimism, and opting to end one’s life are firmly grounded in the society itself: a diseased society eventually produces sick people whose lives are internally empty.
💔
userctrI rip :(
Rip🙏🏽❤️
so sad😢
I would never feel sorry for a person that commits suicide if that's what they wanted well too fking bad, the only thing I feel sorry for is if they had kids for the kids, selfish bastard
Oh how sad. May he RIP.
RIP, my brother. Had no idea what you were going through.😔
RIP twitch
Such a great loss. I’m sad that he gave up. 🙏
Omg 💔💔💔
Flood the media with the 'suicide' theory so people won't suspect the white woman
So very, very sad.. I have been a fan since he was a contestant on SYTYCD. He always seemed so joyful and full of life….Rest peacefully Twitch..😔
Sucide What?
She walks past him and pushes him on Sunday while he's doing a video with the child in the room... Then makes a supposedly 'happy' video a day later, then the third day he's dead? That's that Emmett Till syndrome all over again. Black man murdered. White woman goes free
Oh no 😔
I’m beginning to wonder why so many people commit suicide
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥺
Damn. He was the happiest looking dude I ever saw.
I'm in shock. Not t'Witch. My son, 40 also, did the same thing. I was completely blindsided. Medical profs. say that they don't yet understand how their minds work, but it's irrational and amounts to 'the perfect storm.'
😶 Damn hell of a way to find out your cousin past away... damn Rip Cuzzo Montgomery Alabama 334
Wow see we never know what people are going through even if they appear happy on the outside
So, so heartbreaking. This was an absolute shock to hear. We never know what people are battling. Grant rest to him Lord and may your perpetual light shine upon him.🕯🕯
So sad 😞
selfish weak man
He made me love step up 3D with that dust in the air dance move. I'm heart broken.
didnt ask, dont care
Wow rest in paradise 🙏🏿
Allegedly
DarkestGayMoon
Men’s mental health issues are serious y’all. Right after Movember too 😔. RIP to him and condolences to his friends and family
Omg so devastating & heartbreaking, u never know the pain that so many are going thru and the sadness that’s never worn on their sleeve. It’s a cruel world and being kind to others is the least we all can do💔🙏 RestInPeacetWitch
That’s So sad 💔
Another one on Ellen’s hit list
sooooo sad ! RIP
Is this true .. God almighty I pray it isn’t 🙏
I'm sick over this! He always looked so happy. You never know what pain someone has in their heart! RIP Twitch!
Why do I think she was thinking of leaving him and that's why he did this? Am I the only one?
Ah my God, I’m so sad to hear this. He had a beautiful smile, heartbreaking, love and prayers to his family 🙏 R.I.P
So sad
Damn!
Heartbreaking 💔
This is fucked up I feel bad for his kids how could you just leave them fatherless like that smh 🤦🏻♂️
That’s incredibly sad. RIP.
Being depressed takes you to such a dark place. I feel like some don’t really realize how deep it can get and it’s hard to get out of.
💔💔💔
Leave her alone - she supports and supported so many people - don’t be a bully -
Omg how sad
MKGuy93 Ellen bullied him
I am so so very sorry to hear this … prayers for his family and friends … he brought so much joy into our lives … my heart so much hurts for his family and friends … their loss is immeasurable…Thank you, tWitch for all the dances 🌻
Whoa. That’s pretty brutal.
wow
Suicide? How did it come it?
Awful....just awful.
Logic song gets a deeper meaning everyday damn bro rip you don't have to hurt anymore it sucks i know
All for you🫴
Damn if only I can take people's places to die and give em another chance
This is crazy

Oh no way. He was a happy man that i saw 😢 RIP Twitch
❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Many here are saying 'He looked happy' No idea what that even means. Many of us saw him on an entertainment platform, and not his real life, so the 'happy' we saw could have been his stage mask. Only he and those close to him knew of the demons he was fighting. RIP
I believe that there is something more to him killing himself Just can't believe that
Wow RIP just never ever know
oh my god. :(
😓
omo why? suicide isn't the best option man😞
he’s not just ellen’s DJ…? he was on So You Think You Can Dance and arguably one of the best dancers on that show, he was in the step up movies as well. this is embarrassing lmfao delete this
My gosh this is sad he appeared to be so happy doing his tik tok dances with his wife you just never know what people are going thru behind closed doors.
Awe man, this is so sad. He was so loved too. Please, get help is this is what you might consider. Depression is a horrible thing that make you do this. I loved this man Twitch . 🥺😢☹️
May u finally have the peace you were seeking. RIP Beautiful soul.
😮😢
gsicard1 This is no one’s business and the fact that you feel the need to put the families heartbreak on display as a breaking news story is disgusting.
Rest In Peace 🕊️
💔
Sad 😢
OMG NOOOOO!!!!😢💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
so sad ;(
Down and out for the count!
😞😞😞😞
Ohhh, man. That’s awful 😢 his poor family. Dam.
😔
This is so devastating 🥹. He was such a beautiful soul. Love and Prayers for his family
Heartbreaking news.
Wtf no Why ?! He was always the happiest guy on the show.
Oh nooo 💔💔💔
damn this brutal prayers to his family duriing this time of year smh rip
This is so heartbreaking such a talented dancer! He was such a people person. It’s crazy you never know what people are going through internally😢
It’s so sad rest in peace tWitch 💔
This is shocking. 💔💔 So sad.
Rest in peace
Coward
i dont think its suicide
rest in peace🙏🏽
Oh wow, I’m shocked‼️ 🙏
Anyone who’ll died by suicide regardless of the circumstances you still selfish and a waste man. My players goes to his family
lookner Shocking so sad
Yo wtf?😭
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
😢so so sorry to hear this, always enjoyed him on Ellen’s show
This saddens me I feel bad for his family and his friends, and this is where I’d like to say people should really watch what they say about certain people because you never know how it’s going to affect the other people
I can’t believe what I just heard Ellen’s DJ Stephen Twitch Boss has died by suicide I can’t believe it RIPTwitch you will be missed🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
😱😭
Sad to hear that tWitch one of the most famous dancer in the world died like that. I really hope he found peace on his path and over his last breath. RIP 🪦 Stephen
This is just so sad 😞
Don't believe the 'narrative'. He wasn't suicidal. There's more going on behind the scenes of Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Many are being targeted - and some are opting for witness protection programs - because they found out 'too much' - and are helping expose crime
I wish our military suicides were given as much attention as worthless hollywood trash.
Heartbroken 💔
RIP
That's awful.....what demons were you dealing with. RIP
He and his wife just celebrated their marriage anniversary three days ago😭
There’s something weird about all this. There’s nothing saying he was dealing with depression. Why did she run to the police station instead of calling?
RIP🥀
This is heartbreaking. Of course I didn't know him personally but to know that he was suffering and was not able to fend off the demons is so sad. May his family get the strength at this time. Wow I know how difficult this will be.
SMH 🤦🏽♂️ RIP 🙏🏽
gone to soon R.I.P Twitch so talented please help our brothers we can't keep losing them
Man u gotta be kidding me , this guy is so much fun on TikTok, I just literally searched for his name on TikTok and was watching all of his videos☹️mehn this is so sad😭. RIP💔😭😭
So sad…
😢
So sad and I did not know him but my heart breaks for him and his family. Mental Illness is real. RIP 🙏
This makes me so sad. I loved watching him!
I want to say one thing, keep your nativity comments to yourself please, he had to being dealing with something he couldn’t handle, I just wished he had reached out to someone that truly loved him, I’m praying for his family strength 🙏🙏🙏
Oh no🥺🥺🥺
Man she drove him to kill himself? Sad
Y’all gotta stop marrying white women tbh
RIP Twitch u will be missed
This is very sad. MentalHealthMatters Mentalhealth MentalHealthAwareness please if you feel down specially men. Reach out. thereishelp AGMindandBody1
The pain he left behind for his kids and wife and loved ones, I don’t understand! Why not look for reasons to stay alive then reasons not to .
Wtf nooo
That's incredibly sad. May he rest in peace.
That’s terrible so sad
Nooooo 💔💔💔💔💔💔he was so sweet
So so so sad!!!!
I'm so sad right now. tWitch was hilarious, & a lot of fun to watch on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. & he was a very talented dancer. 😢 My heart, & condolence, goes out to his friends, & beautiful family. Rest In Peace tWitch. We love you man.
How sad……🙏🙏
This is crazy
Omg this is saddening 😢😢😢 I wonder if it had something to do with the show ending. He was there for so long
This is so sad, praying for his family and friends, may he rest in peace 🙏😥💔
It’s like Dave Chapelle has said. Show businesses seems to take people’s lives one way or another. Really rough on families. Praying for his. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My thoughts are with his family 💔💔💔
We all know he was about the clot shot.
evelynvwoodsen 🙏🙏🙏😭
Mental health is real. This is very sad.
Oh Shit No 😯 That is beyond sad. 😢 I feel for his wife and family. What a tragedy.
wtfffff
Horrible hard to believe you never know what another person is going through personally surely don’t think he was hurting for money😢
Oh no. I loved this guy when he first started on Ellen. He always seemed so happy. Praying for his family. 💔
Left his wife and kids at Xmas .. not sure
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You SERIOUSLY never know what someone is going through cus he looked extremely happy & had everything
“Appears to be suicide.” What did he know? Amazing dancer. He even got me to stop what I was doing to watch back when my wife used to watch SYTYCD. The world is sadder today.
This is so sad😞 Please check on your seemingly strong and happy friends. Some are suffering in silence 🙏🏾
May his soul rest well.
😭💔
The real pandemic that no one choses to speak of.
Thunda__Thighs Damn Twitch 🤦🏽♂️
can you please report on mental health? after losing Jason David Frank and Twitch in the last few weeks this shit is ridiculous. Twitch was a legend in the dance world and seemed so happy
I seriously still do not understand why people feel like they need to and their lives just because they’re sad and depressed and think that there is no hope for them…😞
This is beyond devastating.
This headline only shows that they are 100% a media attention grabbing, money hungry, and gossip pleasing company. “is dead …”.. what? Can’t even say “passed away”.. it’s brutal and disgusting.
Omg what
Am in my chemist just saw this can't believe it nearly in tears didn't see this coming he was always smiling òn show always bright never no wats really going on in someone in head this is a shock crazy
The life of a dancer is not for everyone. You really have to have some thick skin. You really have to know what you're going into and how competitive the field is. 💔💔😪😪
ThamsanqaTk This is quite a bummer 💔
Shocking! Thought it was a rumour
Probably was about to talk about Ellen's visits to Epstein island
He had a white woman…. I thought that was the greeting thing in the world to have? What happened? …….
I never understood that kinda despair and hurt that causes this. Mental health is so serious. Don’t take it for granted.
A wife, 3 young children, and right before Christmas, which is now forever tainted. Sad.
This is too unreal, I can't 🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️ RIP Twitch
That’s so sad damn you never know what’s truly going on with someone mentally RIP
So sad to hear this
How tragic. He had so much to give and his young kids.
Ahhh how very very sad…. Suicide even🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️, I swear social media don’t show the whole story, how, tWitch was … or looked like such a happy chap…
😓😓😓😓😓
WOAH!!!
Smiling depression is a very real thing. We learn to mask how much we are going through so you don't burden others but we need to reach out for help. I suffer from it and my kids are what holds me here. I could never leave them with the burden of a mother who took her own life
Omg so heartbreaking 💔
Tf ..this is real? SHIT
_screenshoter dark
Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
You are literally putting other lives in danger when you talk about the method of suicide. TONS of research demonstrates this fact. PLEASE stop doing this to help stopsuicide.
😰🙏🌹 StephenBoss
Suicide?! So sad. I would have never imagined with his upbeat attitude & energy. You just never know what someone is going through. RIP.
That is so sad. 💔 praying for his family and friends. Just awful news. 😔
RIP
What tf💀
BrandonLRichard Famed dancer and executive producer of her show.
SURE IT WAS SUICIDE... BULLSHIT
May he RIP
I don’t believe he was suicidal.
That so sad
Nahhhh not him!!! Absolutely in denial! No flippin way!!! I’m beyond shocked 😮!
😳😳😳😳😳
So sad.
Put some respect on his f*ckin’ name!!! He was SO much more than that! Look at his resume! And learn how to be more sensitive and at least say “deceased” or “passed away”!
No fucking way..
That is code
NO NO NO WTF
Oh no! And by suicide! RIP! You just never know whats going on behind the smiles of your friends & family thats why its important to slways check-in eith them.
Heartbreaking.I know all too well how real those feelings are. Trying to laugh but inside I'm crying now. Supposed to be on plane Mon morning 2 see the only fam I have in FL. But losing my religion for the sake of not being able to come up with $500 for hotel & car.🥺 RIP tWitch
Ah shit 💔
I don't understand this. 🙏
You just never know what’s going on behind that persona! So sad to read this! 🙏
No f*ckin way. I don't believe this. Certainly not by suicide. Aside from how happy he seemed I can't believe he would do that to his kids especially not so close to Christmas
That's awful
NO NO NO NO This is beyond awful, sad, terrible. They kept us dancing thru the pandemic on their channel, youtube etc. I did it with them 2-3 times a week. Loved him so much. And on Ellen. I am truly heartbroken.💔😭😭😭
RIP! You were a light Twitch!
So selfish

Heartbreaking 💔 Loved him on So You Think You Can Dance. Condolences to his wife and family.
I’ve watched him since he was on SYTYCD! I’ve always loved it when he danced. I was so happy when he was on Ellen and I would listen to his playlist on Spotify when I do my cleaning or even working out! He had so much energy and charisma and to see him go R.I.P. King 👑😔
Very very sad to hear this 💔

I'm in shock. You never know what people are going through. He brought so much joy to the others with his dance moves and personality, meanwhile he was struggling on the inside. I'm praying for his family and friends.
OMG …. Wtf
Unlike others families, I Hope his family knew about this before TMZ tweeted it…
My heart is very heavy. He saw no way.
